Problem Statement

Consider the curve CC given in polar coordinates byr=2+cosθ(0θ2π),r = 2 + \cos\theta \qquad (0 \le \theta \le 2\pi),with the origin OO as the pole and the positive xx–axis as the initial line.

  • [(1)] Compute the area of the region enclosed by the curve CC.
  • [(2)] At the point (r,θ)=(4+22,π4), (r,\theta)=\left(\frac{4+\sqrt{2}}{2},\,\frac{\pi}{4}\right), find the slope of the tangent line to the curve CC in the xyxy–coordinate plane. Let aa be the value obtained in part (1). Express the answer from part (2) in the formb+c,b + \sqrt{c},where bb and cc are integers, and let those integers be the definitions of bb and cc. Using these values of aa, bb, and cc, computeabcπ.\frac{abc}{\pi}.\

[PYTHON] import sympy as sp

Define the variable theta

theta = sp.symbols('theta')

Define the polar curve r

r = 2 + sp.cos(theta)

Part (1): Compute the area a

Area = (1/2) * integral(r^2, theta, 0, 2*pi)

area_expr = (1/2) * r**2 a = sp.integrate(area_expr, (theta, 0, 2*sp.pi)) print(f"Area a: {a}")

Part (2): Compute the slope at theta = pi/4

x = r * cos(theta), y = r * sin(theta)

x = r * sp.cos(theta) y = r * sp.sin(theta)

Derivatives with respect to theta

dx_dtheta = sp.diff(x, theta) dy_dtheta = sp.diff(y, theta)

Slope dy/dx = (dy/dtheta) / (dx/dtheta)

slope_expr = dy_dtheta / dx_dtheta

Evaluate at theta = pi/4

theta_val = sp.pi / 4 slope_val = slope_expr.subs(theta, theta_val) print(f"Slope value: {slope_val}") slope_simplified = sp.simplify(slope_val) print(f"Simplified slope: {slope_simplified}")

[/PYTHON] [PYTHON] import sympy as sp

theta = sp.symbols('theta') r = 2 + sp.cos(theta)

Area

a = sp.integrate((1/2) * r**2, (theta, 0, 2*sp.pi)) print(f"a = {a}")

Slope

x = r * sp.cos(theta) y = r * sp.sin(theta) dx = sp.diff(x, theta) dy = sp.diff(y, theta) slope = dy/dx slope_at_pi_4 = slope.subs(theta, sp.pi/4) simplified_slope = sp.simplify(slope_at_pi_4) print(f"Slope at pi/4 = {simplified_slope}")

Extract b and c

We expect form b + sqrt(c)

Let's try to match it

simplified_slope should be -2 + sqrt(2)

b = -2 c = 2 val = b + sp.sqrt(c) check = sp.simplify(simplified_slope - val) print(f"Check if slope is -2 + sqrt(2): {check == 0}")

Final calculation

result = (a * b * c) / sp.pi print(f"Result = {result}") [/PYTHON] [PYTHON] import sympy as sp

Define symbols

theta = sp.symbols('theta') r = 2 + sp.cos(theta)

Part 1: Area

Area = 1/2 * integral(r^2 dtheta) from 0 to 2pi

area = sp.integrate((1/2) * r**2, (theta, 0, 2*sp.pi)) print(f"Area a = {area}")

Part 2: Slope

x = r cos(theta), y = r sin(theta)

x = r * sp.cos(theta) y = r * sp.sin(theta)

dy/dx = (dy/dtheta) / (dx/dtheta)

dy_dtheta = sp.diff(y, theta) dx_dtheta = sp.diff(x, theta) slope_expr = dy_dtheta / dx_dtheta

Evaluate at theta = pi/4

slope_val = slope_expr.subs(theta, sp.pi/4) slope_simplified = sp.simplify(slope_val) print(f"Slope at pi/4 = {slope_simplified}")

Check form b + sqrt(c)

We suspect b = -2, c = 2

b = -2 c = 2 target = b + sp.sqrt(c) if sp.simplify(slope_simplified - target) == 0: print(f"Confirmed: Slope is {b} + sqrt({c})") else: print("Mismatch in slope form")

Compute final answer

final_val = (area * b * c) / sp.pi print(f"Final value abc/pi = {final_val}") [/PYTHON] The curve CC is given by r=2+cosθr = 2 + \cos\theta for 0θ2π0 \le \theta \le 2\pi.

(1) Area of the enclosed region: The area aa is given by the integral: [ a = \frac{1}{2} \int_{0}^{2\pi} r^2 , d\theta = \frac{1}{2} \int_{0}^{2\pi} (2 + \cos\theta)^2 , d\theta ] Expanding the integrand: [ (2 + \cos\theta)^2 = 4 + 4\cos\theta + \cos^2\theta ] Integrating term by term: [ \int_{0}^{2\pi} 4 , d\theta = 8\pi ] [ \int_{0}^{2\pi} 4\cos\theta , d\theta = 0 ] [ \int_{0}^{2\pi} \cos^2\theta , d\theta = \int_{0}^{2\pi} \frac{1 + \cos(2\theta)}{2} , d\theta = \left[ \frac{\theta}{2} + \frac{\sin(2\theta)}{4} \right]_{0}^{2\pi} = \pi ] Thus, the integral is 8π+0+π=9π8\pi + 0 + \pi = 9\pi. The area is: [ a = \frac{1}{2}(9\pi) = \frac{9\pi}{2} ]

(2) Slope of the tangent line: We need the slope at (r,θ)=(4+22,π4)(r, \theta) = \left(\frac{4+\sqrt{2}}{2}, \frac{\pi}{4}\right). The parametric equations are: [ x = r\cos\theta = (2+\cos\theta)\cos\theta = 2\cos\theta + \cos^2\theta ] [ y = r\sin\theta = (2+\cos\theta)\sin\theta = 2\sin\theta + \sin\theta\cos\theta = 2\sin\theta + \frac{1}{2}\sin(2\theta) ] Differentiating with respect to θ\theta: [ \frac{dx}{d\theta} = -2\sin\theta - 2\cos\theta\sin\theta = -2\sin\theta - \sin(2\theta) ] [ \frac{dy}{d\theta} = 2\cos\theta + \cos(2\theta) ] At θ=π4\theta = \frac{\pi}{4}: [ \frac{dx}{d\theta} = -2\left(\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}\right) - \sin\left(\frac{\pi}{2}\right) = -\sqrt{2} - 1 ] [ \frac{dy}{d\theta} = 2\left(\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}\right) + \cos\left(\frac{\pi}{2}\right) = \sqrt{2} + 0 = \sqrt{2} ] The slope mm is: [ m = \frac{dy/d\theta}{dx/d\theta} = \frac{\sqrt{2}}{-\sqrt{2}-1} = \frac{\sqrt{2}}{-(1+\sqrt{2})} ] Rationalizing the denominator: [ m = \frac{\sqrt{2}(\sqrt{2}-1)}{-(1+\sqrt{2})(\sqrt{2}-1)} = \frac{2-\sqrt{2}}{-(2-1)} = \frac{2-\sqrt{2}}{-1} = -2 + \sqrt{2} ] This is in the form b+cb + \sqrt{c} with integers b=2b = -2 and c=2c = 2.

Final Calculation: We have a=9π2a = \frac{9\pi}{2}, b=2b = -2, and c=2c = 2. We need to compute abcπ\frac{abc}{\pi}: [ \frac{abc}{\pi} = \frac{\left(\frac{9\pi}{2}\right)(-2)(2)}{\pi} = \frac{-18\pi}{\pi} = -18 ]

[THOUGHT] The calculations are verified. Area a=9π/2a = 9\pi/2. Slope m=2+2m = -2 + \sqrt{2}. b=2,c=2b = -2, c = 2. Expression abcπ=18\frac{abc}{\pi} = -18. [/THOUGHT]

\boxed{-18}
